Internet of Wristbands

The Internet of Things is here, as experienced in the SAP Center in San Jose during Display Week at the pregame lightshow. The spectators were handed out wristbands with LEDs, synchronized via a radio interface. The wristbands also had a motion sensor so they would light up in Sharks teal when shaken about. The audience participation helped the Sharks to a 5-2 win over the Saint Louis Blues! –Jyrki Kimmel for Information Display
